In this episode, I sit down with my friend MariPat, a medium and energy healer, to talk about her path into spiritual work. She shares how she first began connecting with her intuitive side and what ultimately led her to embrace mediumship. I also reflect on my own experiences working with her through Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) during the early years of my grief journey. Together, we explore the healing practices that have supported us, the lessons we’ve learned along the way, and the ways our spiritual and emotional lives continue to evolve.

Continuing with the Mental Health Awareness theme for May, this is a solo episode to check in on my current life and how I am feeling. I talk about what has been going on lately, how I have been feeling with my own mental health, and also things that I am trying to work on for myself.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, my cousin Carly

is back to discuss her experience with mental health and how her grief has tied into it. Carly shares the tools, insights, and lessons she has learned over the years and what she has applied to her own life from working in the mental health field for the past decade. As always with the two of us, we bring a lighthearted tone, along with some laughs, to a topic that can sometimes feel too heavy to talk about.

In this episode, I continue my conversation with my friend Jen. Jen opens up about her dad, Jack, who passed away seven years ago. She speaks honestly about his struggles over the years and how those challenges shaped their relationship. Jen also shares how her grief has shifted with time and what she has learned along the way. It’s a vulnerable and honest look at the realities of loss and the ongoing process of healing.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Jen (McCaffrey) Segal to talk about the losses that have shaped her life. She shares memories of her childhood friends, Colleen and Danny. We also reflect on her relationship with my sister, Marissa, and how Marissa’s passing has stayed with her and how her grief has changed over the years.

Jen's episode has been separated into two parts. Part 2 will air as the next new episode.

For this episode, my Mom joins me and we get into all the ways grief has scrambled our brains — the fog, the forgetfulness, the “wait… what was I doing?” moments. We also share some of the funny stories that have come out of the past few years, the ones that remind us we're human and still able to laugh even when things are hard. It’s honest, light, and a little chaotic in the best way (fitting for how we are).

Welcome to Season 2! After a three‑month hiatus, I’m back and easing into Season 2 with a personal check‑in. In this episode, I share what I’ve been navigating during my time away and what I've been up to. I also give a peek at what’s ahead for this season.

In this solo episode, I reflect on the holidays — what they looked like growing up, how traditions shifted as my sister and I got older, and the profound changes that came after Marissa's passing. I share the daunting early years of navigating grief during the holiday season, the slow process of finding new traditions that felt right, and the ways my family honored both the lows and the highs along the way. I also take a moment to look back on the first year of this podcast, incorporating a family tradition of naming one low and one high at the end of each year. This episode will be the last episode in 2025 and the last one before a brief hiatus.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Christina Graveley to explore the impact of loss. Christina shares her journey of losing both of her parents, 11 years apart, and how those experiences shaped the course of her life. She opens up about the challenges of being a caretaker for her Mom during an already busy season in life, and the lessons she has carried forward from that time. We also reflect on the ways grief evolves over the years, and Christina offers her insight into finding healing and meaning along the way.

In this solo episode, I open up about a deeply personal chapter — watching my brother-in-law begin a new relationship after my sister passed away. I share what that experience was like through the lens of my own grief, the complicated emotions it brought up, and how my perspective has changed over time. This isn’t a story about judgment or resolution — it’s about growth, perspective, and the quiet ways grief can evolve. If you’ve ever wrestled with the complexities of love, loyalty, and letting go, you may relate to this episode.
